These functions are also listed in the context menu of the Commands window. Any functions not contained in the Elements pane need to be typed manually in the Commands window.

The following is a list of all functions that appear in the Elements pane. The icon next to the function indicates that it can be accessed through the Elements pane (menu View - Elements) or through the context menu of the Commands window. List of functions Natural Exponential Icon Natural Exponential Function Inserts a natural exponential function. You can also type func e^<?> directly in the Commands window. Natural Logarithm Icon Natural Logarithm Inserts a natural (base e) logarithm with one placeholder. You can also type ln(<?>) in the Commands window. Exponential Icon Exponential Function Inserts an exponential function with one placeholder. You can also type exp(<?>) in the Commands window. Logarithm Icon Logarithm Inserts a common (base 10) logarithm with one placeholder. You can also type log(<?>) in the Commands window. Power Icon PowerUFI: removed help id Inserts x raised to the yth power. You can also type <?>^{<?>} in the Commands window. You can replace the ^ character with rsup or sup. Sine Icon Sine Inserts a sine function with one placeholder. You can also type sin(<?>) in the Commands window. Cosine Icon Cosine Inserts a cosine function with one placeholder. You can also type cos(<?>) in the Commands window. Tangent Icon Tangent Inserts a tangent function with one placeholder. You can also type tan(<?>) in the Commands window. Cotangent Icon Cotangent Inserts a cotangent symbol with a placeholder. You can also type cot(<?>) in the Commands window. Hyperbolic Sine Icon Hyperbolic Sine Inserts a hyperbolic sine with one placeholder. You can also type sinh(<?>) in the Commands window. Square Root Icon Square Root Inserts a square root symbol with one placeholder. You can also type sqrt(<?>) in the Commands window. Hyperbolic Cosine Icon Hyperbolic Cosine Inserts a hyperbolic cosine symbol with one placeholder. You can also type cosh(<?>) in the Commands window. Hyperbolic Tangent Icon Hyperbolic Tangent Inserts a hyperbolic tangent symbol with one placeholder. You can also type tanh(<?>) in the Commands window. Hyperbolic Cotangent Icon Hyperbolic Cotangent Inserts a hyperbolic cotangent symbol with one placeholder. You can directly type coth(<?>) in the Commands window. nth Root Icon nth Root Inserts an nth root function with two placeholders. You can also type nroot n x in the Commands window. Arc Sine Icon Arc Sine Inserts an arc sine function with one placeholder. You can also type arcsin(<?>) in the Commands window. Arc Cosine Icon Arc Cosine Inserts an arc cosine symbol with one placeholder. You can also type arccos(<?>) in the Commands window. Arc Tangent Icon Arc Tangent Inserts an arc tangent function with one placeholder. You can also type arctan(<?>) in the Commands window. Arc Cotangent Icon Arc Cotangent Inserts an arc cotangent function with one placeholder. You can directly type arccot(<?>) in the Commands window. Absolute Value Icon Absolute Value Inserts an absolute value sign with one placeholder. You can also type abs(<?>) in the Commands window. Area Hyperbolic Sine Icon Area Hyperbolic Sine Inserts an area hyperbolic sine function with one placeholder. You can also type arsinh(<?>) in the Commands window. Area Hyperbolic Cosine Icon Area Hyperbolic Cosine Inserts an area hyperbolic cosine function with one placeholder. You can also type arcosh(<?>) in the Commands window. Area Hyperbolic Tangent Icon Area Hyperbolic Tangent Inserts an area hyperbolic tangent function with one placeholder. You can also type artanh(<?>) in the Commands window. Area Hyperbolic Cotangent Icon Area Hyperbolic Cotangent Inserts an area hyperbolic cotangent function with one placeholder. You can also type arcoth(<?>) in the Commands window. Factorial Icon Factorial Inserts the factorial sign with one placeholder. You can directly type fact <?> in the Commands window. You can also assign an index or an exponent to a function. For example, typing sin^2x results in a function "sine to the power of 2x". When typing functions manually in the Commands window, note that spaces are required for some functions (for example, abs 5=5 ; abs -3=3).
